Gulfstream Park 3/31- A Logical with a Longshot

Gulfstream Park
RACE 10
Maiden Claiming $35,000 (Turf) One Mile and a Sixteenth
#4 Letuspray (2-1)
This 4 year old colt appears to be ready to break his maiden.  Was in a little over his head last time but today takes a huge drop to the $35,000 maiden claiming level which could be concerning except for the fact Javier Castellano (Best Turf Rider in America) keeps the mount & it quite simply looks like a trainer trying to win a race and put his horse where he belongs.  I'd love to get 6/5 or even money on this guy today

#10 Clearly a Demon (15-1)
This is a longshot that I'll be throwing in underneath on some exactas with the 4.  5 year old is lightly raced and never got to stretch his legs in the stretch last time at this same level.  I do believe he'll show more today

Best of Luck

2 Plays at Gulfstream Park for Wednesday 3/30


Gulfstream Park 3/30
RACE 1
Filly Maiden Claiming $16,000 (1 Mile Turf)
#3 Rockhard Lady (5-1 ML)
If there is a concern with her it's the fact that she has been so far back in each of her 4 career starts but I get the feeling if they can even keep her even a tad bit closer that she has the best late kick in the entire field and could very well run them all down.  It's encouraging that she put together a strong gate drill on March 4th going the best of 9 on that day.  This may be a sign she's starting to figure out what she's doing.  Jockey Eddie Zayas gets the call for us today

RACE 6
Claiming $30,000 N2L (1 Mile and One Sixteenth Turf)
#3 Rock Eagle (5/2 ML)
Dropped into this level last out and just missed running a respectable 4th that day while closing down the lane.  I'm expecting the 1 Blue Harbor & the 6 Tapkee to be out on the front end today and if for some reason the two of them decide to dual a little bit this would set up even better for Corey Lanerie & Rock Eagle.  I'm ideally looking for a mid pack trip for him and he should have more in the lane than his competitors so if he's close turning for home, I think it's his race to lose.


As a side note, these races must stay on the Turf for these to be plays. Otherwise it would be a no play for that race.

Best of Luck,
